Contents:
Frontmatter -- Acknowledgments -- List of contributors -- Table of contents -- Introduction: The epistemic basis of deixis and reference -- Deixis and subjectivity -- Remarks on the English grounding systems -- Part I: Nominal grounding -- Grounding, subjectivity and definite descriptions -- Interaction, grounding and third-person referential forms -- The French imparfait, determiners and grounding -- Deictic principles of pronominals, demonstratives, and tenses -- Part II: Clausal grounding -- The meaning and distribution of French mood inflections -- The English present -- The preterit and the imperfect as grounding predications -- A cognitive grammar analysis of Polish nonpast perfectives and imperfectives: How virtual events differ from actual ones -- “Wieso sollte ich dich küssen, du hässlicher Mensch!” A study of the German modals sollen and müssen as “grounding predications” in interrogatives -- Grounding and the system of epistemic expressions in Dutch: A cognitive-functional view -- Subject index -- 477-478
Summary: This compilation of invited contributions, gathering an international collection of cognitive and functional linguists, offers an outline of original empirical work carried out in grounding theory. Grounding is a central notion in cognitive grammar that addresses the linking of semantic content to contextual factors that constitute the subjective ground (or situation of speech). The volume illustrates a growing concern with the application of cognitive grammar to constructions establishing deixis and reference. It proposes a double focus on nominal and clausal grounding, as well as on ways of integrating analyses across these domains.
